Hi.
I am too tight to buy a quality winch and cable, so was wondering if I can use an egg beater, with a shoelace tied to it to pull the queen mary up onto my cardboard trailer rolling on dirt?
Any ideas how I can change the gearing on the egg beater.
I will be using Bata Quality SCHOOL STRENGTH Shoelaces, so that wont be the weak point I dont think, but the front of the ship maybe.
Does anyone see any problems with this?

Truckster,
I have found em!!!
My mates uncle did a google and tells me that he can get just what you want, and at the right price.
They are, of course, made for the o/s market and are most certainly LH thread, however they have been geared down...so he says, and I am sure that he would not tell any porkies.
One thing though, he says you should revisit the BATA SCHOOL LACES idea, just not strong enough, (can't vouch for it but I have been told, forget who by, that this model shoelace has a serious flaw and could disintegrate)
He suggests you use the 4.2 shoelace, much stronger.
Regards
Michael

Sorry Vince, the suppliers wouldnt give us any for testing, even though we begged them numerous times.. Their loss due to not being in the previous tests...
